Drone peers into Brooklyn Heights hi-rises on Thursday
Update: Police nab peeping drone operator, confiscate unit
Office workers and Brooklyn Heights residents were shocked on Thursday to look out of their high-rise windows only to see a drone peering in at them.
“I saw it from the corner of my eye,” said Alice Peters, business manager of EBrooklyn Media, which owns the Brooklyn Eagle and other newspapers.
The drone hovered just outside her 30th-floor office window “for just a second,” she said.
At first she thought it was a toy. “Then I saw the camera piece and I thought ‘That’s a little freaky.’ You don’t know what they’re capturing with their cameras.
